Paisley: Hello everybody. PAISLEY imperfect with make a
plan Monday, and this week we are looking at sections 122,
through 120, sorry, 121, through 123, of the Doctrine and
Covenants. And it's titled, oh God, where art thou? If you've
never read these sections before, these are really good
places to go when you're feeling left, out, forgotten, abandoned,
if you're if you're feeling alone, these are a good place to
go. Section 122, actually is my favorite place to go, and I'm
feeling like I just need a good reminder, a good reminder of
what a good reminder that my heavenly Father knows who I am,
he knows where I am, and that everything that I'm going
through will eventually work out anyway. Let's just get right
into this. Okay, so right here. This is saints volume one,
chapter 28 tried long enough that one we have not read yet. I
should start the beginning by saying there is a lot to look
at. We're going to average about 25 minutes a day with Plan A.
Plan B is about 40 minutes a day, but one of those days is
just over an hour actually, which is why it averages at 41
otherwise it only averages at like 36 so it's only 10 minutes
longer every day than Plan A but one of those days is over an
hour. That one that is, it's over an hour. It's only an hour
and two minutes, so it's only two minutes over. But it's a
video. We'll get to that in just a second. Anyway, this is
chapter 28 tried long enough, and then within the walls of
liberty, jail, revelations in context, we have not done that
one yet. So both of those two things are on list, A and B. As
we keep going, we find this talk here by Elder Cook, personal
peace and challenging times there, which is on the list.
It's on both lists. Where can I turn for peace is not as usual.
I don't put hymns on the list, but please feel free to go check
that out. As we keep going, we we start looking into true power
and influence and what they're based on. Hopefully the powers
and influences in our own lives are based on the principles of
righteousness, and hopefully we are using gospel principles to
influence others. But there is a talk here by Elder Holland,
President Holland, not as the world giveth, and another one by
Elder Bednar, the powers of heaven. And then there's also
this video, the powers of heaven. It's not the same as the
talk. This video is just over nine minutes, and the talk is
about 16 and a half. All right, as we keep going, Jesus Christ
has descended below all things so that you can lift me up. I
think it was. It's either Callister or Christopherson said
something about how our savior has descended below us so that
he can lift us up. So it's not just that our Savior came to our
level, it's that he actually went below our level, so that he
knew even what was below rock bottom for us, so that he could
help us up from rock bottom anyway. So there's a talk here
by President oaks, strengthened by the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. And then let's see we move on to let us cheerfully do
all things that lie in our power. And this down here, I did
not add to either list. When you click on this, it takes you to
this. And this is more of a so it's a history of the
persecution of the church of Jesus Christ, Latter Day Saints
in Missouri. Times and Seasons, truth will prevail. This is from
night, from 1839, totally worth a read, obviously. Otherwise,
why would it be here? But, yeah, go in. Check this out. I just, I
didn't add it to our list. We've got so many things on our list
this week. I didn't put that one on there. All right, we'll come
back to people, places and events. Now we're getting into
ideas for teaching children. This chapter 46 link, Joseph
Smith and liberty jail is the same as this video right here,
so you can go to that link, or you can click here and just
watch it from here. Either one works. And then let's see that
one is on both of the lists. And then this right here, voices of
the restoration Liberty jail. Ill. That's over here as well.
So linked here and over here, that one, that's an estimate.
There is no voice, there's no reading of that. So that's
something that you have to read on your own. And I estimated
about see where is that? About six minutes for that. All right.
This is the video that is an hour it's 62 minutes and four
seconds, so it's just over an hour long. This is Joseph Smith,
the Prophet of the restoration. That one is only on plan B. It's
not on Plan A. I usually put everything that's in the
original content here, I put that on Plan A, but because this
one was so long, I'd put it on plan B. All right, as we keep
going, there's a couple of sections from the general
handbook. We've only seen this one time one other time so far
this year, section 3.5 and 3.6 just the first paragraph of each
it'll take about 40 seconds to read each paragraph. Little bit
faster if you're A Faster Reader, little bit longer, if
you're not, but not more than a minute, I would think, all
right, Jesus Christ knows what I'm going through. There is a
children's song here. Jesus once was a little child. If you want
to go, check that out, not on the list. Here is another talk
by Elder Bednar, the principles of my gospel. Some cute artwork,
and then we're down into our activity page. All right, let's
go up here and look at people, places and events. All right, so
we've already, we already have one revelation in context within
the walls of liberty jail. This is a second one. And yeah, and
this one is only on the second list. It is not on the first
list. And then this one. So then we've got two more chapters from
saints volume one. So saints, Volume One. Chapter 28 was the
one that was up here the very beginning. Chapter 28 is this
one right here. These other two chapters, chapter 31 and chapter
33 we haven't looked at those ones yet either. So those are on
plan B as well. And that's, quote, unquote, that's it. And
actually, I think I might have missed within the walls of
liberty jail, I am not seeing it. Oh, no, there it is. Okay,
it's on both of them. Oh, it's right there, duh. Okay, it's on
both of them. For a second I thought, Oh, do we have two
revelations in context? We don't just one within the walls of
liberty jail, and it goes with sections 121, 22 and 23 Okay, so
let's look at our list. A looks like this. Let's zoom in just a
little bit. Section 121, and not as the world giveth by Elder
Holland on Monday, Tuesday is and Monday, that's 26 and a half
Tuesday, sections 122, and 123, as well as chapter 28 tried long
enough. Those all come together at 25 and a half. Wednesday,
we've got the revelations in context and the short, shorter
video the powers of heaven. And Wednesday is about 25 and a
half. Thursday is our longest days. Is our longest day, with
this talk by Elder cook and this one by Elder Bednar, and that is
almost 29 minutes. And then on Friday, the powers of heaven and
voices of the restoration, that's 22 and a half. And
Saturday is our shortest day. We've got strengthened by the
Atonement of Jesus Christ, by President oaks, liberty, jail,
and two paragraphs in the general handbook. And all of
that together is just under 20 minutes. So that's what plan a
looks like. If you want to go into Plan B, zoom in a little
bit here. We're doing sections 121, and 122, on Monday, as well
as saints volume one, chapter 28 and the video powers of heaven.
All of that together is about 41 minutes on Tuesday, section 123,
within the walls of liberty, jail, personal peace and
challenging times and the two sections from the general
handbook, and that's just over 36 minutes Wednesday, not as the
world giveth and the powers of heaven, as well as the video
Liberty jail. And that's about 35 minutes on Thursday,
strengthened by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, voices of the
restoration, the principles of my gospel. And you were looking
at just under 37 minutes on Friday, two chapters, chapter 31
and 32
Unknown: in saints, Volume One, how will this end? And, oh, God,
where art thou? And that's just over 36 minutes. And then on
Saturday, this is the long one. This is one. Hour and two
minutes Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the restoration. So
this list is a long one. Now remember, these are just
suggestions. Whatever works for you works for you. If you can
only do one section of the Doctrine and Covenants every
day, you're going to be done by Wednesday. Maybe you can throw
in a couple of conference talks on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. That's what all of these are. These are all
conference talks. Or maybe you start on plan B and realize this
is just too long go to plan a. It's fine. We are trying to
become a little bit better every day, right? And sometimes a
little bit better today is 25 minutes, and a little bit better
tomorrow is 10. And that's fine. Heavenly Father loves our
effort. Okay, everybody, thank you so much for being here. Have
a great week and share with me what what happens? What do you
do when you are feeling lost or forgotten, maybe stuck.
Sometimes I read section 122, and I just feel stuck like I'm
not progressing, I'm not moving forward. I'm just kind of
stagnant, stuck. What do you do? How do you how do you work
through it? Where do you go? Do you is there a particular
scripture that you read? Is there a friend that you talk to?
What do you do anyway? I'm curious, and would love it if
you shared it. Thank you so much for being here and until next
time you.
